Hi Andrew, Today's linux-next merge of the akpm tree got a conflict in fs/coredump.c between commit d9fe6ea81efe ("lift sb_start_write() out of ->write()") from the vfs tree and commit "coredump: sanitize the setting of signal->group_exit_code" from the akpm tree. I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix as necessary (no action is required). -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@canb.auug.org.au diff --cc fs/coredump.c index 69d5141,4201338..0000000 --- a/fs/coredump.c +++ b/fs/coredump.c @@@ -636,11 -641,8 +639,10 @@@ void do_coredump(siginfo_t *siginfo goto close_fail; if (displaced) put_files_struct(displaced); + + file_start_write(cprm.file); - retval = binfmt->core_dump(&cprm); - if (retval) - current->signal->group_exit_code |= 0x80; + core_dumped = binfmt->core_dump(&cprm); + file_end_write(cprm.file); if (ispipe && core_pipe_limit) wait_for_dump_helpers(cprm.file);
